Synopsis

Chris is in the difficult place between childhood and adulthood. He thinks of himself as unlucky. If he's near a door, he catches his finger in it. If he's near a wall, he bangs his head. They call him Hardlucky. Thinking that his hometown is just an unlucky place to be, he travels in search of a better life. But his misfortune follows him until one day, he meets Arlo, a 200-year-old bookworm who lives at the library, and to whom he tells his troubles. The kind old man explains to Hardlucky that he is not unlucky- just stupid. If only he would think before he acted, his lot would improve considerably. Following this valuable advice, Hardlucky's fortune does improve, and he returns home at last to become a success.
